Bird Shield ™
has been tested and found effective in reducing bird use of roosting
trees and ornamentals. Mix Bird Shield in the ratio of one part Bird
Shield concentrate to 30 parts water. Use a sprayer with enough pressure
to get the mix into the highest part of the tree or bush. Depending
upon the tree, this can be a hose end applicator, a hand pump sprayer,
or a power sprayer. Best results were
obtained by spraying |

in the early morning
or late afternoon when the foliage was dry. The product can also be
sprayed in the early evening when the birds start to roost in the
tree. While we have seen no indication that Bird Shield is harmful
to birds, birds apparently dislike getting it on their feathers, and
will soon learn to avoid an area sprayed with it. Expect
to re-treat until the birds quit using the area. Once a week is
usually enough to train the birds to roost elsewhere in a short
period of time, though other birds may begin using the area later,
requiring further treatment.
